Top Rated Maya Alternatives
Maya is really handy whether working it in alone or working with many other softwares through maya. It is the software that can handle everything that you want to make, game or production. To 3d modelling, to rigging or even for animation it has all the necessary tools to work effectively for that particular category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Maya is advance for beginners. It is somewhat difficult to operate and sometimes even an intermediate can get confused working with it. And the performance gets low when working with very high poly assets than can work smoothly in zbrush or other similar softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

J'aime énormément utiliser 3ds Max et Blender, mais mon logiciel préféré reste Maya depuis toujours. Voici pourquoi :
- Une fois habitué à son interface, il est difficile d'en changer (attention, il est loin d'être parfait, Blender est plus performant sur ce point, il faut le reconnaître).
- Le logiciel a des bugs, comme tous les autres, mais la grande majorité des outils sont réellement robustes.
- J'aime beaucoup la modélisation dans Maya, car les outils sont réactifs et bien organisés.
- La retopologie est un gros point fort pour moi, comparée à 3ds Max.
- Le dépliage UV est rapide sur Maya (récemment, 3ds Max s'est amélioré sur ce point depuis la version 2024).
- J'apprécie beaucoup la segmentation qui correspond au pipeline classique d'un film d'animation ou d'un jeu vidéo : Modeling, Rigging, Animation, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- C'est scandaleux que, dans Maya, on ne puisse pas passer en vue orthographique aussi simplement que dans 3ds Max ou Blender. On peut le faire, mais il faut le paramétrer manuellement.
- Comme pour 3ds Max, les mises à jour ne proposent pas assez de nouveautés intéressantes. Il y en a, bien sûr, comme le nouvel outil booléen dans Maya et Max ou encore celui de retopologie. Ça s'améliore, ne soyons pas uniquement négatifs.
- J'adore Maya pour la modélisation, mais j'aimerais tellement que les développeurs intègrent les modifiers de Max ou Blender. Je suis sûr que je ne suis pas le seul à le penser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The way I move in the viewport is the most comfortable of all, its power to animate and rigging characters, Its integration or imlpementarion with other programs is very extensive and that is also very comfortable, I have used it daily for almost two decades Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that some simple operations may turn off or crash, its architecture is already old unfortunately, but it is still my favorite tool, the customer spport sucks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of seamless integration with other software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is very user friendly and not very hard to learn. A lot of big movies used Maya software for Vfx. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The rendering of Maya software is not the best. There are much better software options in case of rendering 3d. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Best about maya is ease of 3d modeling. With just shift alt and ctrl + mouse buttons you can rule the modeling. Its so easy and fast once you understand the basic. Features like fx and arnold renderer is cherry on the top. Custome support is also too good. If you face any bug or issue with installation the support given is amazing.

The lack of realtime materials visualisation is missing. The one we can get in blender. You always have to preview render to check the output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Best software for 3D modeling, retopology, UV cutting, cloth simulation, dynamics, 3D animation, rendering...
I use Maya for 3D modeling for my works and also in my industry, I create animations in Maya. I used so many 3D softwares for my projects, and from my experience, I would recommend Maya for students or beginners.
For student license Maya is free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Compared to other 3D software Maya is too expensive.
Real-time rendering Maya takes a little bit of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The capabilities that this software offers gives you sooo much reign, as in the world of animation, really, anything is possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's an incredibly dense and technical interface. Those who consider themselves "artists" first (like myself) might struggle learning all the language and work flow, as this software is not at all intuitive. However, once you get there, the fun begins Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Maya has 3D modeling, animation, rendering, and compositing. Maya allows customization options to tailor workflows and preferences. Maya's rendering engine, produces realistic and high-quality results, thanks to advanced features like global illumination and ray tracing. Would strongly recommend maya for any 3d rendering and really good for VR Games Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Maya is complicated piece of software, the learning curve can be steep for beginners due to its complexity.
It took really long to get hold of it personally.
Additionally, Maya's requires high system configuration and along with that collaboration is not that great either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its rendering process is really good you can't differentiate it from other software It is very good and its top-notch graphics qualities are a chef's kiss and its implementation with other software. Their Own Autodesk Products are also very awesome. Their Customer Support is awesome too. I use it very rarely nowadays Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its Interface is really complicated to use. You have to learn first then you can use Maya I noticed nowadays Maya has many bugs that need to be fixed but overall everything is good. It Has Plenty Of Features in it but you need to learn them to use them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like most about this software is its User interface, which makes it easy to learn and explore things.
It gives regular updates and fixes bugs. It is good for long-time work because of the black interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I didn't like that it did not come with a good render plugin. For bignersr there is no small tutorial for each tool. There is no script tutorial or predefined script available in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
